[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 324356, member: 337"] Eventually this state will follow MN and other states where the state will decide how close to rivers and other water bodies one can actively farm, when nitrogen can/can't be applied, etc. Rather than farmers making reasonable decisions about habitat and water quality, some bureaucrat in Bismarck will decide for them. It's simply how things go when you start down the path to a "European" style government where most people are dictated the rules by the few - all because of the crappy decisions made by the few in the past. And rather than encouraging better practices voluntarily NOW, many in ag will choose to attack the messengers rather than address the core issue. Then they'll get all butt hurt when the gov't (city slickers in Bismarck with no land) start dictating what the farmers can/can't do. The ag stronghold on the legislature isn't going to last forever.
